Instead of the regular placemark that is a yellow pin. I want to instead use this icon.
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal3/icon39.png
I'm not sure if I have to import a KML file or if I can just use it by loading it up. If anyone can help me just post the icon somehwhere on google earth, I would appreciate it.
I looked through some google kml files, and guides, but couldn't get it to work.
Thanks
The easy way:
If you are creating your KML file using the Google Earth client
right click the icon
choose 'properties'
click on the icon - top right
click on 'add custom icon'
paste in the URL to icon you want to use
otherwise you will need to edit the .kml file with some kind of text editor
find the that is being used for the placemark in question
in the change the value to the URL of the icon you want
if you need help to find the correct style
look for placemark name and find its
this normally has a '#' tag in front of it
do a search in your document for that style (removing the '#' tag)
sometimes that finds it straight away (if you see the stuff there go for it)
otherwise you will need to find both the styles (2 of them) listed under it (use same approach as above)
then proceed to change the for the in BOTH places

I am looking for a way to download images from a source image URL link directly from Google Sheets without having to click on the link and manually save it + name it.
I was wondering if it was possible to download multiple images from an array of image links by clicking on a custom button or if there was a way to download/save image URL links semi-automatically onto the user's PCs.
Can someone please give me a working example and or guide me in the right direction into implementing something that can perform these functions?
Thanks!
Google Maps used to have a feature to create a link (short URL) to the current view and location. However that doesn't seem to be there anymore...?? Is that gone or how do I do that?
I mean not just a link to a specific search query, i.e. like maps.google.com/maps?q=<address> or maps.google.com/maps?q=<lat,lon>, but when moving around, having a certain view and zoom level and everything, you could do 'Create link'. With a checkbox 'create short URL` which resulted in URLs like http://goo.gl/maps/AbCdEf.
Anyone knows where I can find that feature now?
Left to the search box you'll find the following icon:
Here you find the option for sharing the link to the current view, also for short links.
It has changed in the latest version of Maps: If you click on the "Share" Icon in the route details section - it allows the same thing - select "Short URL" and off you go...
I have page that displays multiple Google Maps on one page. On the maps I have my logo in the top left. I have noticed it only displays on the first map. I have an idea why but I am not sure what I need to add for it to display on the other. It inherits all the other map controls so I not sure why it doesn't do this for the logo on both maps.
Here is a link to the page
EXAMPLE
Here is the link to the code for the map

Any suggestions?
-Thanks
Looks to me like you are only adding it to "map":
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(logoControlDiv);
if you want it on map1, you need to add it to there as well:
map1.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(logoControlDiv);
(you might need to make another copy for map1)
Doing a big part of work around html image maps and suddenly I am not able to edit image maps:
- when clicking on an image with map edit tool, it adds the first point, but then focus is lost and 'multiple CSS p-elements' are selected, so I am not able to create any shapes, but adding single points only.
Dreamweaver can only make image maps for images with position:static
I want to create one webpage with one textbox, one button and one div containing the google map. My use case is whenever I enter some address in textbox and click on the button the google map for that place should get rendered in that div. Can anybody please help?
You want to use the Google Maps API:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/
and either the geocoding service:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding
or autocomplete:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#places_autocomplete
The samples linked there should give you plenty of code to draw on.
